Dang lots of tech talk because of me haha. Im either getting that kit because its 100% bolt on or doing the nsx calipers with ex hubs, and redrilled prelude rotors.</TD></TR></TABLE>
da brakes with brembo blanks and good pads is the bang for the buck masterpiece. i have gotten numersous da's as parts cars for free over the years so free=happy. use the calipers as cores for new ones and clean it all up with new bushings/ball joints etc and you will have roughly 500 into a pretty decent set of brakes at all 4 corners that is easy to get replacement parts for.
ease of replacement is one of my biggest concers when assembling anything. i want to know that if i get stranded in the middle of nowhere that a local parts store will either stock or easily obtain a replacement. i don;t like custom order stuff, when it breaks it has to be custom ordered again...which means vehicle downtime.

x2 that is what i considered back in the days of big brake dreaming. The availibility of rotors and pads is a huge factor I currently have DA brakes all around, EX MC & BB & stainless lines. Plenty of stopping power even on cheapie pads
